The US is entirely built around car culture. Chances are you don’t get in a car for everywhere you go. In the US getting in a car to go virtually anywhere is unavoidable. This is a tiny percentage we just have so many more car trips per day than most countries.
Edit: fixing counties to countries cause autocorrect.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers scenes from this terrible movie. This was the first thing that came to mind.
Pass in 04401…sorry 4401 is not a valid zip code. Rage.
That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.
Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell’s plan to restore its in-office culture.
In all honesty…my parents. I play family tech support and it’s just easier with Apple. There aren’t a million different variants of hardware and manufacturer tweaks to the OS. If I also have an iPhone I can keep up with all the changes and help troubleshoot any issues (I live ~2000 miles away). If they have any immediate concerns they can visit an Apple Store and a ‘Genius’ can also walk them through whatever. They also have classes.
I keep my phones for 3 years and pass it on to one of my retired parents who keep it for another 3. Then it stops receiving the latest updates as its fallen out of support with Apple. They still work just fine but not receiving the latest major OS releases. My last phone swap lead to my parents passing their old phone on to my brother who couldn’t care less that it’s out of support and just wants a working device.
So those ~$1000 phones are getting some mileage…
It’s unlikely to be picked up by the Democrat-controlled Senate because of numerous amendments regarding abortion, diversity efforts, and transgender medical treatments.
That seems about right. Tired of bills having all this non related crap shoved into them.
Automatic registration would replace the coming-of-age tradition that all 18-year-old male U.S. citizens experience when they get a card in the mail from Uncle Sam informing them that they’re required under threat of criminal penalties to register for the Selective Service.
This ~2 decades ago for me but I have no recollection of this ever happening.
The title of the article I linked and its subtext is
“The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Could Take 3 Weeks to Recharge—Without Plugging In
Or, put another way, you can get more than 1,000 miles of free range in a year.”
It most definitely charges the battery.
I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and just to break even from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.

If it’s anything like some of the other features they’ve crammed in they will ask that question over and over and over and over again until you choose the answer they want.
Are you sure it wasn’t Pizza Hut? That was the international cut(outside the US). Never heard about a cut using KFC.
I see the franchise wars are starting a bit earlier than planned.
I’m desperately waiting for fiber. Still expect it to be 6-12 months out but they’re actively building it. I live ~20 miles from a state capital. Fiber is still very rare even in suburbs of major cities the US.
Before it went into licensing hell it was available on Blu-ray. I own a copy.
Mine is still in the envelope it came in nearly 40 years ago and is still attached to the perforated paper card. Why carry it with you and destroy it? I’ve never on a whim needed to show it to anyone.
Edit: missed a word.
Dealerships love to sell cars by monthly payment. Subscriptions fit right into that model. Heated seats are just another $5 a month! So with <huge list of features> that monthly payment is only $330 a month….on a 9 year car loan. People will absolutely do this.
Or work part time and put yourself through college. That would be nice…

If online play is your jam then there is always https://cncnet.org/ It shows there are 493 people playing Yuri’s Revenge as I type this.
Not all the games are free to play. Some of them require you to copy some files from a paid version. So this sale is still relevant. Check out the FAQ at the url above.
My brother and I started playing Mental Omega instead. It’s a rewrite based off Yuri. It has new units, structures, abilities, and AI/balancing tweaks. http://mentalomega.com/
Unlike RA2 you can no longer just deploy 100 GI’s and mow down everything that comes at them. That never really made sense when a tank rolls by. In Mental Omega the tank will kill them all. Cause they’re just guys with rifles against a heavy armor tank…
This study was only with 234 people.
As someone that works in IT the amount of people I’ve come across that have little to no technical ability to be in that field is staggering. It had a high paycheck so they showed up. Doesn’t make them competent computer users.
Lemmy pointed me to another study a bit ago. It was ~216K people ages 16-65 and multiple countries.
According to that study this is where 43% of the participants skills ended(or didn’t even reach cause I stuck level 0 and 1 together).
This was the most depressing part…
So my above 43% is really 69% of users. That’s where their abilities taper off.
